Financial help to stop an eviction or homelessness in OK
There is assistance for both the homeless as well as tenants threatened with an eviction in Oklahoma. Emergency hardship grant based aid will help keep a tenant in their home by helping to pay their rent or utility costs. There is also support for families, single moms or dads or individuals that are facing imminent homelessness. In these instances the client being evicted will be provided supporting ranging from shelter to grants for paying security deposits on a new, affordable apartment.
The state of Oklahoma Community Housing Department receives support from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD to offer this emergency eviction prevention program). The federal government provides grants to charities as well as units of general local government. This money can be used for activities, such as back rent, moving costs, transitional housing, rental application fees, or to pay for security deposits. Other housing may also be arranged.
Many of the community action agencies (CAA) partner with their local government on self-sufficiency plans for tenants with an eviction letter as well. This is a requirement for both the homeless seeking to be rehoused as well as tenants applying for eviction prevention help. The reason it is required is that it is difficult to authorize the payment of an Emergency Solution Grant (ESG) or to provide a loan to the applicant for their rent if they can't maintain the home.
The CAA in Oklahoma take a leading role in these self-sufficiency programs for families being evicted. These privately run, yet non-profit organizations, take a leading role in fighting poverty and underemployment. The programs are aimed at helping the homeless as well as working poor gain mid to long term employment. They can show people how to budget for their rent, provide legal support around tenant rights and responsibilities, and otherwise coordinate homeless prevention services in Oklahoma.
Homeless prevention in the state of Oklahoma may also include ongoing rent and eviction prevention subsidies. These so called housing relocation or stabilization services prevent an individual from becoming homeless in the future as well. The ESG funds can be used to provide either short or medium-term rental assistance so the family can live in income based housing.
To apply for a subsidy from a program such as section 8, the client's income needs to generally be at or below 30% of the state of Oklahoma's median income. The applicant therefore needs to have some form of employment to apply for this program. This subsidy or voucher also needs to help participants regain stability in their current permanent housing. Learn more on section 8 applications in OK.
Additional eviction prevention help may be available too. Examples of what agencies in Oklahoma may incorporate into their programs range from legal aid in Oklahoma to resources from the Continuum of Care, including basic needs such as food or clothing. On the other hand, the homeless may be placed into emergency shelters or transitional housing programs to give them time to stabilize.
The state of Oklahoma eviction prevention programs provides ESG funds as well. They help renters, the currently homeless and families living in poverty either stay in their current home or find a new place to live. Various local applications sites are across OK for people threatened with an eviction notice, and get details here. https://www.okcommerce.gov/community-development/community-action-agencies/emergency-solutions-grants-esg/#emergency.
